Are you interested in the state of the environment, environmental safety, clean technology, environmental management, and sustainable development? The Degree Programme in Environmental Engineering (EE) provides you with a broad approach to the professional field of environmental technology. You learn about the causes, consequences, and prevention of environmental problems, from local oil spills to global problems, such as climate change and microplastics in the oceans. The studies focus on: environmental protection and remediation; various aspects of environmental technology: air protection, water supply and treatment, contaminated soil, and environmental monitoring – sustainable development and the circular economy. There is an ever-growing need for environmental management and engineering expertise. Environmental technologies (green technologies, clean technologies) are among the most rapidly developing technology fields. You could become a part of this field that needs internationally competent professionals for the future! This is a new way to complete degree studies. The courses mostly involve online learning. You only need to spend the second year of your studies in Mikkeli, Finland. That second year has a very strong practical orientation: you take samples and carry out analyses working with real cases using modern equipment. After the second year, all the rest of your studies can be completed online. This makes it possible to study while working. In addition, you can include exchange studies as part of your degree. This gives you a truly international degree. However, it’s always possible to complete your practical training and theses in your home country or home city. After graduation, you can work in different positions in environmental research, supervision, planning, and management. You may solve, improve, and increase recycling solutions for cities, or conduct investigations and remediation actions in contaminated areas.
